Question

My 16 year old daughter worked part time in 2019 for most the year. Can me and my wife still claim her as a dependent on our taxes if she files her taxes also separately

Yes under 19 you can still claim her.

Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return.  If their only income is W2 and under 12,200 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.
